shadow

Name

shadow - Covertly follow someone.

Syntax

shadow shadow <level> <person> shadow stop

Description

This command causes you to covertly follow someone. There are three levels of shadowing 'high', 'medium' and 'low'. The level determines how careful you are in attempting to shadow, thus it affects the likelihood that you will be spotted and the guild points it takes. With shadow set to high you will use all your skill and lots of guild points. At low some of your skill and fewer guild points and medium is somewhere in the middle. You can also stop shadowing someone using 'shadow stop' or review your current shadow level with just 'shadow'. When shadowing every move will cost covert guild points, how many will depend on the level of shadowing you are using.

Example

> shadow high ceres
You will now attempt to shadow Ceres.
> shadow stop
You stop shadowing.
